[stonedinsect]

tempo is everywhere sack that keyboard player

[newkingcurtis]

@stonedinsect you are retarded. you know nothing. your breath smells like milk

[stonedinsect]

@newkingcurtis midget rapist

[courgan09]

Well...The version is not bad, for sure, but the masters voice is missing...

Stranglers without Hugh Cornwell... it`s just b......t!

[Curragao]

Governor!

[J0J0GPunkt]

snapping fingers to golden brown ... don't care what the others think on the dancefloor!

[paulcruse]

Wow! That is how you communicate! Perfect song and I just LOVE those girls. How much grace do you want in a song? Superb.

[robthesamplist]

Funny you all moan he isn't the same as Hugh, but who cares he tried and kept the performances live for fans.

[OrlandoCruz100]

this song is really perfect! Nothing to add...

[Seylendisandrak]

Best Song forever

[tobbyleila]

bad and good memories in Poland , I left the country for 10 years and i missed so much !!

[alepennetta]

love never die...

[Downcrisis]

It's about toast!

[murdock2k8]

@Downcrisis the first time i heard this song, it was sung by a girl i knew, with a guitar and i actually thought it was an advert jingle for biscuits or something, to be fair i only heard like the first two lines :P

[NudeltunnelCHA]

@Downcrisis it's about heroin!! ;)

[john1992p]

AFTOI OI 28 POU PATHSAN DISLIKE EINAI KOUFOI KAI MALAKEEESSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[beechesboy1]

Pure classical gold

[manujay]

like this if you think i should get a tatoo of the first 4lines of this song

[sesshoumaru4me]

I love the melody. I don't care if it is about drugs or if it is about a woman.(or both :D) Just love the sound of it. You don't always have to analyse a song to enjoy it. An d the acoustics are awsome, wish I had been there.

[xehrf089]

Heroin...

[UltimateVenom]

to go from pub rock to this

[koala22540]

Yes very nice song ^^

[hadik0011]

nice song



[mentengkoba]

just the singer sucks bad. sounds like franck sinatra, poor. :(

[daylightghost2009]

@mentengkoba so... you are saying frank sinatra doesn't sing right?

[MegaCrownvictoria2]

Now i can die. My life is complete!

[ya2121]

this song could actually be about a girl in his life. depending on your perspective of it.

[waran75]

golden brown ist the name for heroin hashish muhaaaa you dont know what you talking stranglers =heroin

[westwayjoe]

stunning version

[djbongout]

GOSH! this is one good slap in my face for the next days!

I always loved this song but this interpretation is briliant, elegant, wonderful!

Paul Roberts is sooo gorgeous!

[djbongout]

GOSH! this is one good slap in my face for the next days!

I always loved this song but this interpretation is briliant, elegant, wonderful!

Paul Roberts is sooo sexy!

[zuikos]

Golden Brown is slang for hashish not heroin. The best hashish was amber to old in colour. When this song was popular that usually meant Lebanese and Turkish hashish.

[isabella4368]

this the story of new wave very thanks Stranglers

[Horlitz]

Wow! This is the best song about Heroin. A deal with the needle. Those bad little kiddies doing bad little things!

[shownomotion]

you arent the same thing asshole....let it to the real one!!!

[MrGuhim]

where can i buy this music? i love it.

[podcastshmodcast]

such a sombery, Elegant song. I had the song almost spoil't for me by someone telling me GB is euphamismz for Herion. But i ask of this performance- what? Is it in one of the FRIDAY 13th movies? Lovely string section.

Hey, i was able to recconect my Utubes to me FB's! Now you can see my thunderous song markings all DAY LONG!

[FloydyTube]

What happened to all the punk 'tude from when I saw then live ... oh so many years ago?

[hyghiaumtym]

3:25 how STONED does the audience look???? xD

[StefanHertw16]

how can u hate that song????!!!!! say me

[w1llow11]

met them in Cyprus got all their autographs and had a drink with them. Still love all their songs

[GeneralCambronne]

@w1llow11 oh what a funin'lucky u are !!!!!! they are marvellous

[zbindi69]

love it

[mrbob10021]

just heard this son g the other day for the first time. my dad should them to me.

and all i have to say is, this is the best song in the world!!!

[Jeanny1978]

this is Paul Roberts. I personally like Hugh Cornwell very much, but I have to admit that Paul's not doing a very bad job here. Hugh's just too hard to beat I think :-))

[tomcat8153]

I Like the Singer - he is doing very well !!! You must watch the whole Concert on DVD and very loud !!! And not alone but with some friends and beer.

[TheTwinz00]

he is ginger.... off!

[TheTwinz00]

absolute embarsment at 1:33

[minriggs]

aaahahahahahahaha fcuk! kill me please my mind is for ever traumatised by this...evilness. *vomits* this really needs a warning at tha front for poor brain damaged idiots like me. nasty stuff. =)

[LIVIKIA]

Hugh Cornwell - the stranglers are nothing with out Hugh

it pathetic

no Hugh- no stranglers

[cronosiv]

@LIVIKIA relax LIVIKIA

[TomGreenUK]

This guy left years ago, so give it a rest.

[1lowsky]

that's a disgrace! who's gonna be the next singer, justin beiber?

[madFlam1]

i feel sorry for who had to order the string section and say 'fit girls only'

[0k8n1a5ller]

Was für eine wunderebare Musik!!!

[nailzuk]

its about heroin (tied to the mast) (stays for a day)(never a frown) i dont see any girls in the original video only sand anywayz , cant w8 2 see em in glasgow on march 5 , tickets r booked :)

[yesimoverhere]

what a load of old shit! and that's being polite, he has the charisma of a turnip!!

[karlshoneybear]

oh man...i feel sick

[Curragao]

Best Wishes to Sidmouth - my favourite (that was 1978 summer)

[LIVIKIA]

no Hue Kronwel- no strangelrs

[tigerspuds]

@LIVIKIA Hue Kronwel? Never heard of him....

[toemeraldcity]

his voice has gone the jazz route? and with his 99 piece sell out orchestra...OMG oh wait I forgot the F in there... OMFG!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[TalkToTheBody]

This is just so wrong, if there is one band that should have given up it is this one. This band has been living off the Cornwell years since Hugh left the band. Great songs admittedly and the performance here is in my opinion excellent but it is just wrong.

[viperx1977]

hahaha so many people hate this twat ! keep clicking your fingers and disappear mofo......

[DSMAXIMUS77]

fantastic...

[1lowsky]

he is a twat. the stranglers have seized to exist when hugh left...

[MartaLorenz]

he is great !!!

[Veith86]

Ist halt auch nicht das Original

Hugh Cornwell

[Veith86]

Instrumental spitze

aber der typ hat´s nicht drauf, zappelt zuviel - weiß nicht über was er singt

kein Gefühl / falsche Emotionen

hat so nen verweichlichten Gesichtsausdruck.

Meine Meinung

[jackoherts]

he's no Hugh Cornwell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[divineprocess]

Nope,it's not Hugh, he'll be back

[trooperski01]

@divineprocess well Hugh has been a long time away ..i admire your optimisim :D x

[Mrozzytimes]

not feeling this version! Cant be the orginal singer?? Bloke sounds like a dick!

[fresei138]

Hammer geiles Lied!!!!! :-)

[rocha93r]

Is he the original singer?

[rocha93r]

@rocha93r oh no it's not.. this men is not Hugh Cornwell

[wayneubs]

good and bad memories of this song been clean now for 10 yr

[kimbolton111]

he doesnt look like this atall in the video

[studas2011]

@kimbolton111 heroin is bad

[kimbolton111]

@studas2011 he was on heroin??

[studas2011]

@kimbolton111 You don't know many junkies then? It's not the same singer as in the original video.

[kimbolton111]

@studas2011 how can me not knowing if someone famous was on heroin make me not know junkies you dont wanna know the junkies ive met and sorry i dont read about there personal life im not sad like that

[studas2011]

@kimbolton111 what I meant was it's plain to see it aint the same singer, and this singer looks mashed.

[kimbolton111]

@studas2011 yeh to you because know i didnt ! its quite incompitant of you

[johlufc]

shite

[TheAwesomeRising]

wow, perfect example of society's stupidity. clearly based off heroine, and after years and years, you have a friggin orchestra playing in some white glove theater to golden brown... love the song btw

[Tincuradan]

@TheAwesomeRising I believe the Stranglers thought of it as a kind of Rorschach test, to see who would make the mental jump to heroin. Just sayin' ;)

Love the song too BTW.

[rushkagon]

who is this cunt singing ????????????

Bring on The Stranglers please!

[kapo10wong]

@rushkagon

I am going to make it my business to track this guy down and kick his fucking face in.

WTF! This is sick.

[MyAccount217]

@kapo10wong naaah this one sucks a little

[kapo10wong]

@MyAccount217

"Sick" in English English means "bad" - very bad. This is so bad that no-one has yet invented a word that can properly represent its shittiness.

[mapache11]

@rushkagon ...you must be a REAL fan if you don't know that Paul Roberts (this cunt) replaced Hugh in 1990. ALL of the other members were the same. You don't recognize them?????

Go back to your Duran Duran cd collection now. Simon is still singing.

[rushkagon]

@mapache11

The Stranglers were and always were Hugh Cornwell you stupid little faggot. This CUNT is basically a CUNT like you that doesnt know his head from his arse. As for the others who cares about them, they are nobodies now.

Go back and listen to Spandau Ballet and Duran fucking Duran you fucking new romantic homosexual transgender person before i get out my NUCLEAR DEVICE and aim it at you and your sad despicable race!

[mapache11]

@rushkagon..hey fuckstain, if you notice, in my comment I wrote "this cunt", just like you did. I never said I liked him. I was answering your question. Ask any true fan of the Stranglers and they all know who the cunt is. Unlike you,they would also recognize the other members of the band.

In your crakaddled mind JJ, Jet, and Dave are nothing???? You know zero about musicianship then.

Go back to fumbling through your mom's underwear drawer looking for something to sniff.

[rushkagon]

@mapache11

Oh i didnt know Simon HOMO Le Bon was still singing in that despicable girly band, it proves that you still listen to them which is what i suspected.

Somebody please kill these imposters!

DEATH TO FALSE METAL!

[mockam1234]

more music like that pls

[StickmanShifter]

The version I have on CD is closer to this one than the version I normally hear. Why is this?

[Sibbi1987]

that gives me the shivers

[Sibbi1987]

that gives me the shivers

[Sibbi1987]

that gives me the shivers

[fran21ish]

[TheLuxeBabe]

[king11082]

[Vintagesansui800]

It would be even better if they had a real Harpsichord. Amazing performance though!

[mrsilvergrill]

Tossing my cookies while watching this plastic Las Vegas lounge wanker butchering this great song. He can't even hit the notes. 

[polycera]

i was at this gig. it was a great night.

[kyanka]

kurwa.... co tak cicho .. ? x/

[grf0492]

String ensemble is lacking. Vocals are great. The whole thing is a little rushed, however. Overall 4 out 5. Love this song.

[spizzenergie]

This is absolutely disgusting! What is this ? Stranglers or Helmut Lotti?!

[Ronrein1]

@spizzenergie Das ist einfach geil !!! Kein Lotti !!! Sondern

Stranglers !!!

[frakles84]

perfect. just perfect.

[LordCarlSagan]

POWERFUL

[daGeeman16]

[brodjaman]

[viperx1977]

[viperx1977]

good song singer is a wanker finger clickin tosser

[3dalpha]

wanker

[QQRREE]

I loved the stranglers but this is total shyte ..it was a punk band and hugh cornwall was a legend think he would be pissing himself if he saw this ...

[mackhomie]

this is kind of lounge lizard style

[paintsaint10]

i prefer the voice he used on the track but still fucking AWESOME

[wotnuhellizdis]

Oh no, is this Sting ?"Oh shit there goes the charabang!"

[beyondrach]

simply the best

[dixon97a]

Just superb . . .

[oOSpoonerOo]

so old and so good

[Madlookin]

Classic song

its about smack without a doubt....wonder how many in that hall know?

Two distant lands take both my hands...means folks like it in both countrys

The orchestra is brilliant...but the vocals is no way as good as the original

[beyondrach]

love this song sooo much

[Mootuntbaboon]

wherez Hugh? Wtf is this?

[j4mespatrick]

@Mootuntbaboon here's hugh. amazing!

[thehomefront]

better than the original

[spikebio]

What a wanker. Prick. This song belongs to the Stranglers who were truly one of a kind. This realy pisses me off.

[FP51DPO]

@spikebio This is the stranglers... however I agree with the wanker comment regarding the singer but JJ, Dave and Jet are playing on this it was a celebration of god knows how many years, so they got the orchestra

[haggisDOW]

Someone hand Dave greenfield a rifle please

[deekay1182]

classic song that has stud the test of time, sounds as good now as it ever has

[jeje6666]

DOPE

[TheManus02]

whats the reference to friday the thirteenth. if its the date roberts joined the boys it will be a date for mourning. not so much out with the old, in with the new but in with the crap!

[ablah15]

Huge stranglers fan up to when Hugh left. Who is this arrogant wanker?  He cant even hit the notes. Way to destroy a classic.

[TheThespian23]

@ablah15 I can get that you don't like him, he's not Hugh, but you can't really say he doesn't hit the notes :\ he isn't pitchy at all.

[Intruder2512]

just brilliant !

[svs4oles]

nice, but i prefer the original from the strangles

[FP51DPO]

@svs4oles this is the stranglers (not the original singer though)

[russiana2m]

i am a hip hop head but this is fantastik,real fantastik!

[SuperKwick]

eargasm *_*

[vangeneche]

Endearing chills, that's what comes to my mind when I hear this song. live or original...

[Gunnabee]

Gordon Brown texture like sun

Lays me down with my mind he runs

Throughout the night

No need to fight

Never a frown with Gordon Brown

[danieljcross]

I read an article with the singer saying Golden Brown was named after his black girfriend. If this is true, takes both my hands has a whole new meaning!

[DaJuggernate]

@danieljcross

It's not, it's about Heroin and a girl (who wasn't Black) and how both of them bring him an insurmountable level of joy.

[viperx1977]

this man is the most bigest moron ive ever heared ...tosser i hate him so much please fuck him off for ever .....tosser

[ClemenzaKimble]

The singer is shit. I'm not just saying it because I'm used to hearing Cornwell, but I hate the way he sings 'Never a Frown'. He sounds like a complete dick and I want to fucking punch him.

[snipermatic]

I love this song too. Can some1 tell me, whats the message of this song?

[JWDragon71]

@snipermatic Yes I Can,Behold...... Golden Brown stands for.... Heroin as "Golden White" stands for Cocain.Never a frown with golden brown... Two Distands lands take BOTH ny hands. Far far away. stays for a day..

Not my cup of tea but the song is awesome

[snipermatic]

@JWDragon71 tnx for your answer. I read in wikipedia. sorry for my english. In wikipedia stands, that the band says, they dont exactly mean heroin. Every listener can interprete his own mind and ideas. For most i love the last 20 seconds of this song. The oversampled chorus. And that sounds really weird on a trip

[JWDragon71]

@snipermatic Ok Wikipedia could be right. An old friend of mine which is(haha) a hippie told me this explanation.I never verified it......took it for granted....

Wonderful song......

About tripping... that's what I like... I did and never regretted it.

For tripping music...Try The Orb... Best wishes.... J-W.

[JWDragon71]

@snipermatic

[BarbaraBlu]

Simply great !!!!!

[TheWoerterbuch]
